Title: Pantographic device for conveying loads in vehicle assembly lines
Inventor: LOPEZ ALBA ADELARDO
IPC: B62D65/18
Filed: 2002-11-27
Abstract: A pantographic device for conveying loads on assembly lines has an elevated guide rail where a carriage is assembled.      An upper frame is suspended from the carriage. A lower frame is provided with arms for holding the load to be conveyed. Articulated arms join the upper and lower frames.      A lifting mechanism, responsible for causing the lifting an lowering of the lower frame, comprises a drive shaft horizontally assembled in the upper frame with a rotating capacity, several parallel pulleys fixed to said drive shaft, two motors acting on the opposing ends of the drive shaft, and several flat belts that are fixed on one of their ends to the respective pulleys of the drive shaft and fixed to the lower frame on the opposite end. The rotation of the drive shaft in either direction provides the lifting and lowering of the lower frame.

Title: Method and apparatus for removing hydrocarbons from water
Inventor: JUST GERARD A
IPC: B03D1/14
Filed: 2003-01-30
Abstract: An improved production water treatment system and method are disclosed. The treatment apparatus includes a vertically oriented vessel with tangentially disposed injection nozzles including one or more injection nozzles for the introduction of production water and one or more injection nozzles for the introduction of recycled water from the vessel and a sparge gas. The tangential orientation of the injection nozzles creates a cyclonic flow within the vessel for improved sparge gas bubble/hydrocarbon contact. A hydrocarbon-rich layer migrates to the top surface of the liquid in the vessel where it is removed about a center axis of the vessel. The resulting hydrocarbon-lean production water has a sufficiently low hydrocarbon content that it is eligible for more intensive processing, such as with organophillic clay cartridges.

Title: Oeillet destine a renforcer les bords d'un trou dans une bande porteuse et dispositif destine a loger un oeillet sur une bande porteuse
Inventor: KOPATZ HEINZ-DIETER
IPC: A41H37/02
Filed: 2001-06-02
Abstract: L'invention fait intervenir un élément d'oeillet sans rondelle (10') comportant un disque (11) s'appuyant sur l'endroit (23) de la bande porteuse (20), et un col tubulaire traversant le trou dans la bande porteuse. Le bord rabattu du col de l'élément d'oeillet (10') s'appuie sur le côté arrière (24) de la bande porteuse (20). L'invention vise à réaliser une liaison plus rapide et économique de l'oeillet sur la bande porteuse (20). A cet effet, l'extrémité libre du col de l'élément d'oeillet (10') est pourvue de saillies (16). Lors du rabattage du col, un profilé annulaire fermé (50), dans lequel les saillies de col (16) sont intégrées, est créé. Après rabattage, des zones d'appui (40) saisissant efficacement la bande porteuse (20) sont créées sur la bande porteuse (20) entre les saillies de col (16) et des surfaces de butée (49) formées par le disque (11). La bande porteuse (20) s'étend au-delà des zones d'appui (40) à l'intérieur (51) du profilé annulaire (50). Ainsi, il est possible de réaliser avec un seul élément d'oeillet (10'), un oeillet logé sur la bande porteuse (20) avec une résistance à l'arrachement particulièrement élevée.

Inventor: DZIADOSZ LAWRENCE M
IPC: B21D26/02
Filed: 2001-09-18
Abstract: An efficient and effective process for manufacturing of hardened aluminum components is achieved by coordinating the material preparation steps with the forming steps. The resulting product is a hardened aluminum component with desirable strength characteristics. The process includes initial heating of sheet material (330, 332) in order to prepare it for further processing. The sheet material (330, 332) is then quenched to promote appropriate material conditioning. A product forming sub-process is then undertaken in a relatively short period of time following the quenching. The product forming is done while the material is in a relatively ductile condition, thus easing forming operations, and avoiding product spring-back problems. Lastly, the component is naturally aged, to provide the final hardening operations. The resulting product has very desirable strength characteristics, due to the combined forming and hardening process.

Title: Histone deacetylase inhibitors in diagnosis and treatment of thyroid neoplasms
Inventor: BATES SUSAN ELAINE
IPC: C07K14/71
Filed: 2002-01-09
Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel approaches to thyroid cancer therapy. These approaches include methods to enhance thyroid specific gene expression, for example methods to enhance expression of thyroglobulin and/or the Na+/I-symporter in thyroid cancer cells. Enhanced expression of thyroid-specific genes promotes cellular differentiation and reduces biologically aggressive behavior such as invasion and metastasis. In addition, enhanced expression of thyroglobulin and/or the Na+/I- symporter increases the ability of thyroid cancer cells to concentrate iodine or iodide, thereby making the cells more susceptible to radioactive iodine therapy. Also disclosed herein are methods for detecting thyroid neoplasms in a subject, by administering a therapeutically effective amount of a histone deacetylase inhibitor, administering a detectable agent whose uptake or concentration in thyroid cells is increased by administration of the histone deacetylase inhibitor, and detecting the detectable agent.

Filed: 2003-11-21
Abstract: The present invention relates to a door opener for opening a frozen or stiff foam or rubber seal formed between a door and a door frame, which possesses first and second plate portions. The first plate portion is adapted for placement in a frame opening between the door frame and the door, and the second plate portion is adapted to be manipulated by a user, by attachment to a key chain. The first plate portion is in spaced relation to the second plate portion so as to form a substantially right angle about a central point, whereby an end of the first plate portion can be inserted for placement in the frame opening between the door frame and the door by the user, and engage a lip of the door. As the key chain connected to the second plate portion is pulled in a first direction by the user away from the door frame, the first plate portion moves upwardly from its placement between the door frame and the door, and, as the user continues to pull the second plate portion in the first direction, separates and breaks the frozen or stiff seal formed between the door and the door frame. By way of the once-piece compact design of the door opener, and the angled interconnection of the first and second plate portions about the central point, greater maneuverability can be obtained for the user to insert the door opener between the door frame and the door, and grip the lip of the door, and thus open the stiff or frozen door when the door opener is pulled, without causing cosmetic damage to the exterior of the door or immediate area surrounding the vicinity where the device is inserted.
